RESIGN Mr Ledger and Mr Davey.

This petition calls for the resignation of Northumberland County Councillors David Ledger, former Chairman of Arch, and Grant Davey, Leader of Northumberland Labour Group.

Under their tenure, Council-owned company Arch wasted tens of thousands of pounds on trips for staff and Councillors to the French Riviera and London and on expensive unnecessary hospitality including £200 per head meals, £58 bottles of wine and trips to Wembley.

They have brought shame and embarrassment to our county and they should do the honourable thing and resign from Northumberland County Council immediately.

The petition also calls for Northumbria Police to conduct a thorough investigation into whether or not the activities breached criminal law.
